v1.7.10 Release

· 3 min read

We are pleased to present the latest JBrowse 2 release!

This has some great new features including

Feature detail formatter

Here is an example which adds a link to the "Name" panel in the feature details. It uses the jexl callback that returns an object with keys for each field to modify (e.g. the key name is used here). See

{
"type": "FeatureTrack",
"trackId": "ncbi_gff_hg19_2",
"name": "NCBI RefSeq",
"formatDetails": {
"feature": "jexl:{name:'<a href=https://google.com/?q='+feature.name+'>'+feature.name+'</a>'}"
},
"assemblyNames": ["hg19"],
"adapter": {
"type": "Gff3TabixAdapter",
"gffGzLocation": {
"uri": "https://s3.amazonaws.com/jbrowse.org/genomes/hg19/ncbi_refseq/GRCh37_latest_genomic.sort.gff.gz"

v1.7.9 Release

· 2 min read

We are pleased to present v1.7.9!

This release features several bugfixes and improvements submitted by community members, including a CLI fix when specifying --indexFile with CSI files, and a new feature to get FASTA metadata from an external file.

Additionally, we have switched to canvas2svg for SVG exports, which can now handle more sophisticated operations like bezierCurves (used for sashimi-style arc in RNA-seq data), and circles (used by jbrowse-plugin-gwas)

Before (note bad intron and lack of arcs rendered on bottom track)

After (fixed intron rendering and arcs)

v1.7.6 Release

· One min read

This fixes a bug that affected v1.7.0-v1.7.5 in which CRAM, TwoBit, and other file types would not load on jbrowse-desktop. This was due to the upgrade to webpack 5/CRA5, but is fixed in this release!

v1.7.5 Release

· 2 min read

We are pleased to present the release of v1.7.5

This release includes two major improvements

  • Ability to index tracks for searching by gene names in JBrowse Desktop. This let's users choose per-track indexes in the add track widget interactively, or index them after-the-fact using the track menu.
  • Removed serialization of BAM/CRAM features for pileup tracks which brings large performance benefits for jbrowse-web and jbrowse-desktop. Previously, all the BAM/CRAM features were serialized across the RPC boundary in jbrowse-web and jbrowse-desktop, but this was an expensive and memory intensive operation. Now, the BAM/CRAM features are not serialized, but the main thread has to manually request any data it needs from the worker after rendering (e.g. when we click a feature).

Figure showing performance improvement of the noserialize improvement compared with v1.7.4, which brings the webworker performance in line with the embedded app (which does no serialization)

This release also fixes a bug with using trix indexes created by jbrowse text-index in v1.7.0-v1.7.4 (with the adjustable prefix size)

v1.7.0 Release

· 3 min read

We are excited to announce the latest JBrowse release! This has many great features including

  1. Floating feature labels, so if you are zoomed into the middle of a gene, the feature label hangs out alongside it on the left side of the screen! The results may not be pixel perfect in all cases (reverse complement labels can end up overlapping other features for example) but we hope this helps you see the labels for features that extend off the screen!

    Figure showing the feature labels floating alongside gene even when you are zoomed into the feature

  2. Upgraded build system for jbrowse-web and jbrowse-desktop to webpack 5, and added examples of using webpack 5 with embedded components. Webpack 5 results in smaller build sizes for jbrowse-web. For a typical session, amount of .js downloaded with gzip enabled in v1.6.9 is ~1.4MB, in v1.7.0 ~900kb (-500kb smaller). Without gzip enabled v1.6.9 4.8MB, v1.7.0 2.5MB (-2MB smaller). The result is largely due to better webworker bundling. See https://jbrowse.org/jb2/docs/embedded_components/ for webpack 5 examples in embedded components

  3. Optimizations and improved visualization of paired-end reads in the breakpoint split view

  4. Optimized linear synteny renderings with long CIGAR strings. These optimizations help viewing large alignments such as the CHM13-T2T-v2.0 assembly vs hg38 PAF file from https://github.com/marbl/CHM13#downloads (example here https://jbrowse.org/code/jb2/main/?config=test_data%2Fconfig_demo.json&session=share-0qD2-d_k4K&password=GF8Sk)

  5. The "Assembly selector" dropdown box now remembers your last selection, so you can more easily return to your genome of interest
